Oh. My. Goll.
[Yum!]
you are such a genius. I am making this SOON!!!
This looks so yummy! Is there a vegan equivalent that I can use in please of the egg whites?
Erm. I’m not really sure. I suppose you could try tofu, but it wouldn’t be exactly the same.
Mmmm, your getting me hungry just viewing your delicious creation 🙂 Great creativity! Might try adding smoked paprika, cumin, and chili powder as well!
